Unfortunately I don't own Criminal Minds.
I would like to thank mabelreid, BeccaWestlifeAddict, and ShaileeSue for continuing to review.
I do not own Terminator Two: Judgment Day or Martian Child. I am sure most of my readers have seen T2, so I have no problem with spoilers. But I am sure not many of you have seen Martian Child. So I will try not to give away any of the plot.
If you haven't seen Martian Child you should. It is the sweetest and saddest movie I have ever seen. It has both John and Joan Cusack in it. It is hilarious and adorable. Go rent it at your local movie rental store! (I sound like a TV commercial but I honestly don't care the movie is that good.)

"Oh Spence that was delicious." JJ exclaimed once she had finished her steak.
"Yeah man that was a killer steak." Morgan said smiling. Emily and Garcia nodded in agreement.
"Thanks, I had a lot of practice." He said blushing.
"When?" Morgan asked.
"I had to cook for my mom." He said simply, everyone stared down at their plates. "It's not a big deal." He said, but at that moment it was like a light bulb had just lit up the corners of his brain, finally he remembered what he feared most.
"Reid you okay man?" Morgan asked, reaching out to steady him.
"W-what? Y-yeah I'm fine." He said. "I need to go wash my face." He said excusing himself from the table.
"What was that about?" Emily asked watching Reid's retreating back.
"I think I might know." JJ said standing up from the table, she found Reid sitting with his back to the far wall of the room that would be the nursery. "Baby what's wrong?" She asked approaching him.
"It's nothing." He said, he felt a twinge of guilt, he didn't want to make JJ worry.
"Tell me." She said.
"I had to cook for my mom." He whispered.
"So…?" She asked, she knew there was more.
"So what if I end up like her, what if you and our child have to take care of me like I had to take care of my mom? Though I love my mom sometimes it was a living hell. I don't want you to have to deal with that, or our child." He said laying a hand on her abdomen.
"Oh Spence." She whispered. "It's not going to happen. I promise." She said.
"You can't promise something like that." He said.
"Yeah and you can't promise that Kyle will ever leave me alone. Same thing." She said, he knew she was right.
"Hey, sorry to interrupt this beautiful moment but we were getting worried." Garcia said from the doorway.
"You were getting worried!" Emily corrected from down the hall.
"Is everything okay?" Garcia asked.
"Yeah everything's fine Garcia." JJ said standing up from off the floor. Though she was still very skinny Reid could see signs of a 'baby bump'. He knew that within a month she would start fretting about how 'fat' she looked. He smiled to himself at the thought of JJ standing in front of the mirror holding her abdomen and complaining about how fat she was getting. "What's so funny?" She asked seeing the grin on his face.
"I was just thinking that in about a month you will start thinking you're fat." He said standing up. She slapped his chest.
"I know what you mean, I probably will. And I also know you didn't mean to imply that I am fat." She said.
"I would never think you're fat!" He said, his eyes got wide at the prospect of her taking his statement that way.
"I know." She said, then she walked off to join Garcia. Reid followed them.
"Hey man, you alright?" Morgan asked. Reid nodded.
"I picked out some movies for us to watch!" Garcia chirped grabbing for her purse. "Let's see we have Martian Child, sweet story very sad. And Terminator 2." Garcia said. "Lets watch Terminator first, and save the sad one for last."
"Uh sure." Reid said.
"Is Terminator really a good idea?" JJ asked eyeing Reid.
"What do you mean?" Garcia asked.
"I love the Terminator, don't get me wrong, but the entire story is based on flawed logic. John could not exist to send Kyle, his father, back in time to impregnate is mother. It's just not possible, and if Reid sees it there will be no end to the facts and the criticism." JJ said.
"She's got a point." Morgan said laughing.
"I'll watch it and try to stay quite." Reid said, that made everyone laugh hysterically. "What?" He asked.
"Nothing." JJ giggled, Garcia put the disk in the DVD player and hit the 'play' button. JJ bit back a laugh about twenty minutes into the movie during the chase scene when Reid was literally sitting on the edge of his seat. Everyone seemed amused that the young genius was actually enjoying T2.
"Then she gets busted and it's like, sorry kid your mom's a psycho didn't you know? It's like everything I was brought up to believe was all made of bull shit, I hated her for that." John Connor said through the speakers of the TV. JJ turned to Reid and saw a tear slide down his face.
"Baby are you okay?" She asked, everyone turned and looked at Reid. He nodded and got up, while he did he mumbled something about needing to go to the bathroom.
"Oh my boy." Garcia said, watching Reid's retreating back.
"Do you think he's going to be okay?" Morgan asked as Garcia hit the 'pause' button.
"Yeah, ever since lunch he's been thinking about his mom that's all." JJ said looking in the direction Reid had gone. Just then a knock sounded at the door, JJ got up and walked to the door, which was in the kitchen of the apartment. "Hotch?" She asked when she saw who was at the door.
"Hey." He said stepping into the apartment. He took in what he saw around him. Past the divider that divided the living room from the kitchen/dinning room sat Garcia, Morgan, and Emily. To his right he could hear running water coming from the direction of the bathroom, which was twenty feet down the hallway.
"Hey Hotch." Morgan said.
"What's up? Oh Terminator 2? Good movies." Hotch said walking into the living room.
"Yeah, we had to pause it though." Emily said, looking sadly in the direction Reid had gone.
"Why?" Hotch asked, sitting down next to her on the couch on the wall to the left, Garcia and Morgan sat on the couch to the right, while JJ sat in the couch that was up against the divider with the TV right in front of it.
"Everyone thinks Sarah Connor is a schizophrenic and John had said…" Morgan started to say but Hotch cut him off.
"'It was like, sorry kid your mom's a psycho didn't you know'?" Hotch guessed.
"You're good." Emily said, Hotch gave a slight smile.
"Yeah." Morgan said in response to Hotch's statement.
"I'll go check on him." JJ said getting off of the couch and walking down the hall. "Spence?" She called entering the bathroom only to find him in the shower. She closed the door behind her and undressed, if this didn't make him feel better she didn't know what would. "Baby?" She asked as she opened the door to the shower, he looked at her like a deer caught in the headlights.
"H-hey, what are you doing in here?" He asked making room for her to join him. She came over to him and wrapped her arms around his small frame.
"I came to check on you." She said looking up at his big doe eyes and his dripping wet hair.
"I'm fine." He said stepping back under the warm water, JJ followed, the water felt heavenly on her, still recovering, body.
"Spence come on, I know what John said in the movie made you upset, tell me what you're thinking." JJ pleaded.
"It was kind of like that with me except I did know, but people still treated me like that. But she didn't get caught, I put her in there, I couldn't help her." He said sadly.
"Oh baby." She whispered, she put her hands behind Spencer's head and pulled him down to her level and kissed him passionately. Next thing she knew she was pinned, gently of course, to the wall. He thrust into her, enjoying every second of it. She hoped this made him feel better, but right now she couldn't care less.

"What's taking so long?" Garcia moaned from where she sat, just then they heard a moan coming from the direction of the bathroom, then two moans at once, one male, one female.
"Not again." Morgan moaned.
"Not again what?" Hotch asked eyeing him suspiciously. Emily held back a giggle at the look of horror on Morgan's face when Reid started shouting JJ's name.
"On the plane they, uh…" Emily started to say, but she stopped when Hotch looked at her.
"When?" He asked.
"When we were flying out to that case right when Rossi joined the team." Emily said.
"When?" He repeated.
"You were asleep." Emily said. "You'll let them off the hook right?" Emily asked.
"Yeah I will." Hotch said.
"Don't mention it to Reid that we know okay? He is bound to be really embarrassed about it." Emily said.
"Yeah well what about this?" Morgan asked, nodding in the direction of the bathroom, where more moans came floating out of.
"I don't think so, he thought he was never going to see JJ again. I don't think he really cares whether or not we are around." Hotch said earnestly.
"He's got a point." Garcia said, just then the moaning stopped and they heard the water shut off. Not long after that Reid and JJ came walking back down the hall, Reid had changed into a t-shirt and sweatpants and JJ was wearing one of Reid's black collage t-shirt with no pants, she also carried a medium sized blanket to cover up with.
"Please forgive our wardrobe choice." JJ said, "I felt like changing into something more comfortable." She said. She didn't mention that she felt slightly sick to her stomach.
"That's okay." Garcia said turning back to the TV, JJ noticed how grossed out Morgan looked. She had to bite back a laugh when Reid and Morgan made eye contact and Reid turned bright red.
"Don't worry about it, I don't blame you two." Hotch whispered to Reid. It didn't console the genius any. Reid was more than relieved when Garcia hit the 'play' button and the film started playing again. JJ leaned in close to Reid while he put his arm around her.
"Jesus you were going to kill that guy!" John said through the TV.
"Of course I'm a terminator." The terminator said. Everyone burst out laughing at that line, even Reid.
"You know something?" JJ asked looking up at Reid.
"What's that?" Reid asked.
"Despite the fact that that kid needs to watch his mouth he is kind of cute." JJ said.
"Cute how?" Reid squeaked.
"Like, he has that little kid innocence rolled in with that badass ness." JJ said.
"I don't know which is weirder, what you just said or that I understood it." Morgan said.
"Uh-huh whatever." JJ said, everyone smiled. They were all glad that JJ was returning too normal. "Okay gross!" JJ exclaimed a little while later.
"I thought you've seen this movie before." Reid asked looking down at his grimacing girlfriend. "Besides you see stuff like this every day." He said nodding towards the screen where the terminator had stabbed a guy though the eye and into the brain.
"I am sensitive about the eyes!" JJ exclaimed. "Tell me when it's over." She said.
"It's over." He said.
"Thank god." She said. A few minutes later they got to the part in the movie where Sarah saw the terminator that had threatened her life in the first movie. Reid felt JJ tense in his arms and Sarah screamed and tried to run but the people who worked at the mental hospital grabbed her.
"Pause the movie." He said, Garcia did. On the screen though was Sarah Connor staring up at the terminator with nothing but fear in her eyes, a look he knew all too well. "JJ are you okay?" He asked holding her out at arms length. She nodded, tears spilling down her face. Reid pulled her into his arms as she cried on his shoulder.
"I completely forgot…" Garcia said tears welling up in her eyes. She didn't mean to make JJ cry.
"I know baby girl, it's alright." Morgan reassured her. Everyone looked at JJ with concern and compassion.
"All I wanted to do was make it better, I didn't mean to make her cry!" Garcia said sadly.
"We know." Emily said.
"Garcia it's not your fault, really." JJ sniffed.
"Are you going to be okay?" Reid asked.
"Yeah I think so, keep playing." She said turning towards the TV. She couldn't help but wish that she was as tough as Sarah Connor. Then again she had had years to get over the experience. Even she never fully got over it…
----
Almost three hours later Martian Child was ending, everyone, including Hotch and even Morgan, had tears in their eyes. Hotch's tears were probably because the fact he could not see his son very often.
"I want a kid like that." JJ sighed laying a hand on her stomach.
"He was cute and all but that would be a handful." Reid said, looking at her like she had gone insane.
"I meant the sweet part." JJ said. "The child would be like its father." She said looking up at Reid.
"Be right back." He said climbing off of the couch and off to the bedroom, he opened his gun safe and pulled out the velvet box. Then he walked back down the hall, box in hand.
"What's up?" JJ asked.
"JJ I have been wanting to do this for a long time, I have been trying to figure out how to say this but I will just ask." Reid said kneeling down in front of JJ and showing her the box, tears of joy ran down her face. "JJ will you be my wife?" He asked.
"Yes." She said slipping off of the couch into his arms. He pulled back only to place the ring on her finger with trembling hands. Then he held her again.
"Oh my god!" Garcia squealed, Emily nodded in agreement. Morgan smiled at the kid, Hotch looked proud as well.
"Way to go kid!" Morgan said slapping Reid on the back once JJ and Reid parted.
"Thanks." He said, he was starting to resemble a tomato. Emily and Garcia ran and hugged JJ, JJ fell back onto the couch. Reid looked at her concerned.
"She's alright." Hotch said, he knew the look on his face. Relief rushed over Reid when JJ started laughing.
"What are you thinking?" Morgan asked, he could see those gears turning in Reid's oversized brain.
"Despite the whole kidnapping thing life couldn't be better could it?" He asked, both Morgan and Hotch smiled at the youngest member of the team. Though for Hotch life had been better, when Jack had been born, when Hailey was pregnant, anytime but now. But he guessed that what he had felt back in those days was the same feeling Reid was experiencing right now, he just hoped things didn't end like his marriage had. Though it cheered him up a lot to see the three women chattering excitedly on the couch and gasping at the beauty of the ring, and to see how happy Reid looked. This was the best day he had had in a long while.
